Edge-oriented Technologies within Lab

We all use the cloud, and the cloud also offers many opportunities for research and education. For example, for collecting real-time data. In this theme, we investigate new cloud technologies, especially edge computing and Internet of Things.

The projects in the Lab around Edge-oriented Technologies

Safer cities with smart bikes, edge computing and public clouds

Small edge devices attached to bikes help improve the safety and wellbeing in cities through analysing the surroundings in an autonomous way. Hogeschool van Amsterdam (HvA) runs a Maintenance Lab where several research and development projects in the field of smart industry and smart cities take place. One of them is a Smart Bikes project done in collaboration with Velotech Solutions. SURF has joined the project to lead the design and implementation of the digital infrastructure needed to operate a fleet of bikes in a city remotely, making use of public cloud services.
